Editor’s Note

Whether you’re reading in print or online, welcome to this milestone edition of Current Conservation: the first issue of our twentieth volume. From humble beginnings as a collection of readable research summaries to the introduction of longform articles and illustrations for a more engaging look, the magazine is now a global platform where ‘art meets science’. But our mission remains the same: to tell conservation stories from around the world, and keep them freely accessible. In many ways, however, this issue is no different from previous ones. It carries a range of perspectives on myriad issues, such as the need for conserving parasites, how to scale conservation initiatives (while acknowledging that not all can or should be scaled), Indigenous land rights, gender and access, dog-wildlife interactions, and more. We thank everyone who has been with us on this journey—readers, contributors, and supporters alike.
